PREFACE. 


The  publication  of  a  handbook  of  learned  societies  was  one  of  the  pro- 
jects recommended  to  the  Carnegie  Institution  by  its  Advisory  Committee  on 
Bibliography  (see  Yearbook,  no.  i,  1902,  p.  182-184).  This  was  approved 
by  the  Trustees,  and  grants  were  made  for  the  purpose,  the  expenditure  and 
supervision  being  entrusted  to  the  Librarian  of  Congress.  After  consultation 
with  the  authorities  of  the  Carnegie  Institution  the  organization  of  the  work 
was  placed  in  charge  of  Mr.  J.  David  Thompson  of  the  Library  Staff,  who 
has  personally  edited  this  volume  and  seen  it  through  the  press,  the  material 
having  been  compiled  under  his  direction  by  Mrs.  Lucy  C.  Daniels  Thompson, 
assisted  by  Miss  Mary  F.  Griffin. 

The  present  volume,  devoted  to  America,  was  completed  for  publication 
first,  because  printed  information  for  this  region  is  less  available.  Pending 
decision  as  to  further  publication,  the  remaining  material  relating  to  societies 
and  institutions  in  the  Old  World  will,  for  the  present,  be  kept  on  file  avail- 
able for  consultation  at  the  Library  of  Congress. 


Washington,  D.  C,  May  25,  1908. 


HERBERT   PUTNAM, 

Librarian  of  Congress. 


INTRODUCTORY. 

The  scope  of  this  manual  may  be  defined  by  indicating  the  geographical 
region  covered,  the  classes  of  societies  and  institutions  included  or  excluded, 
and  the  information  presented  regarding  each  organization  described. 

The  present  volume  relates  to  North  and  South  America  and  the  adja- 
cent islands,  including,  however,  also  the  American  schools  at  Athens  and 
Rome,  and  in  Palestine,  which  are  associated  with  the  Archaeological  Insti- 
tute of  America.  Similar  material  for  the  rest  of  the  world  has  been  collected 
but  is  not  yet  edited  for  publication. 

With  the  exceptions  noted  below,  it  has  been  our  aim  to  include  all 
active  publishing  societies,  together  with  universities,  colleges,  museums  and 
laboratories  issuing  contributions  to  knowledge,  and  institutions  devoted  to 
research.  In  the  case  of  national  scientific  societies,  however,  the  test  of  pub- 
lication has  not  been  applied,  and  many  local  historical  societies  in  North 
America  which  do  not  publish  have  been  briefly  noted  under  the  various  states 
and  provinces.  The  plan  of  the  investigation,  as  approved  by  the  Trustees  of 
the  Carnegie  Institution,  provided  for  the  omission  of  societies  and  institutions 
devoted  to  medicinea  and  agriculture15 ;  and  as  the  work  progressed  it  was 
found  necessary  to  exclude  also  patriotic  societies,  local  bar  associations0  and 
teachers'  organizations'1,  and  leagues  for  civic  improvement  or  charitable 
purposes.  Astronomical  and  meteorological  observatories6  have  been  in- 
cluded only  when  forming  departments  of  universities,  colleges,  etc. 

The  following  outline,  accompanied  by  a  circular  letter  requesting  the 
necessary  data,  was  sent  to  all  organizations  known  to  us  within  the  scope 
of  the  Handbook  and  will  serve  as  a  description  of  the  information  here 
published  : 

1.  Name. — Full  official  name  of  the  society  or  institution  at  the  present  time. 

2.  Address. — Permanent  postal  address,  with  name  of  permanent  official    (if  any)   to 

whom  communications  should  be  sent. 

3.  History. — Brief  notes,  including  dates  of  foundation  and  incorporation,  changes  of 

name  or  organization  (e.  g.,  fusion  with  other  societies),  and  any  other  important 
events,  together  with  bibliographical  references  to  any  published  sources  of  fuller 
information. 

aFor  the  publications  of  medical  societies  reference  may  be  made  to  the  Index- 
catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  Surgeon  general's  office,  U.  S.  Army,  [1st  series]  v.  10 
and  2d  series,  v.  12 — Periodicals  (medical  and  scientific).

4-  Object. — Statement  given  in  the  constitution  or  act  of  incorporation. 

5.  Meetings. — Time  and  place. 

6.  Membership. — Number  of  members,  classed  as  active,  honorary,  corresponding,  &c, 

with  entrance  fee  and  annual  dues  paid  by  each. 

7.  Serial  Publications. — Exact  title  of  each  serial  publication  issued  by  the  society  or 

institution  since  its  foundation,  and  a  statement  for  each  series  of  such  publica- 
tions giving  change  of  title  (if  any),  number  of  volumes  (or  brochures),  period 
covered,  place  and  dates  of  publication,  and  size. 

Where  the  present  society  has  been  formed  by  fusion  of  earlier  societies,  a 
similar  statement  regarding  the  serial  publications  of  each  of  these  is  desired. 

If  a  publication  is  now,  or  has  been,  issued  jointly  with  other  societies,  this 
fact  should  be  noted. 

The  content  of  each  serial  publication  should  also  be  noted,  if  not  clearly 
defined  by  its  title  or  by  the  statement  of  the  object  of  the  society. 

8.  Special  Publications. — If  a  published  list  exists,  kindly  refer  to  it  or  send  a  copy 

if  one  can  be  spared. 

9.  Distribution   of   Publications. — (a)  Conditions   of   exchange    (b)  price-list   and 

place  of  sale. 
10.  Research  Funds  and  Prizes. — Under  each  fund,  a  statement  as  to  the  special  field 
covered,  the  amount  and  conditions  of  grants  in  aid  of  research  or  conditions  of 
competition  in  the  case  of  prizes. 

In  brief,  the  Handbook  may  be  said  to  supply,  in  regard  to  societies  and 
institutions,  information  similar  to  that  contained  in  bio-bibliographic  refer- 
ence works  for  individual  authors.  In  contrast  with  "Minerva,"  which  is 
primarily  a  yearbook  of  learned  institutions  (though  including  also  the  prin- 
cipal learned  societies),  and  which  by  reason  of  its  annual  issue  is  able  to 
furnish  up-to-date  information  as  to  the  variable  personnel,  annual  budget, 
etc.,  chief  importance  has  been  attached  in  this  work,  which  is  principally  a 
handbook  of  learned  societies  (including  also  certain  classes  of  learned  insti- 
tutions), to  the  information  of  permanent  value,  vis.:  history,  publications, 
and  special  funds  from  which  grants  are  made  in  aid  of  research  or  prizes 
offered  for  results  attained. 

The  material  furnished  in  response  to  the  above  circular  and  supple- 
mentary inquiries  has  been  verified  from  printed  sources  wherever  possible 
and  the  serial  and  special  publications  of  societies  and  institutions  included 
have  been  examined  as  far  as  they  were  available  in  the  Library  of  Congress 
and  other  government  libraries  in  the  District  of  Columbia.  As  a  further 
precaution  to  secure  accurate  and  adequate  statements,  portions  of  the  galley 
proof  were  sent  to  the  secretaries  and  librarians  of  many  of  the  principal 
societies  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  for  additions  and  corrections. 

To  all  officers  of  societies  and  institutions  who  have  contributed  informa- 
tion relating  to  the  organizations  which  they  represent,  for  use  in  the  prepa- 
ration of  this  Handbook,  we  desire  to  express  our  sincere  appreciation  of 
their  kind  cooperation.  We  are  especially  indebted  to  many  secretaries  of 
State  historical  societies  for  notes  in  regard  to  the  local  historical  societies 
in  their  respective  states ;  to  Mr.  R.  W.  McLachlan,  Hon.  Curator  of  the 
Numismatic  and  Antiquarian  Society  of  Montreal,  who  furnished  a  list  of 
Canadian  societies  and  assisted  in  the  collection  of  information  about  those 


in  Montreal  and  Quebec;  to  Mr.  Luis  M.  Perez,  of  Havana,  who  revised 
the  Cuban  material;  to  the  American  diplomatic  representatives  in  Central 
and  South  America,  who,  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Department  of  State, 
communicated  with  the  learned  societies  and  institutions  in  the  countries  to 
which  they  were  accredited  and  forwarded  the  information  supplied ;  to  Dr. 
H.  von  Ihering,  Director  of  the  Museu  Paulista,  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil,  who 
supplied  the  data  relating  to  that  state. 

In  the  use  of  a  reference  work  of  this  character,  it  is  important  to  notice 
at  the  outset  the  arrangement  of  the  material  it  contains.  A  glance  at  the 
table  of  contents  will  suffice  to  show  that  the  primary  division  is  by  countries 
in  the  order  there  indicated.  Under  each  country,  the  national  societies  or 
those  without  fixed  headquarters  or  meeting  place  (and,  in  the  case  of  the 
Latin  American  republics,  also  the  societies  and  institutions  of  the  capital 
city)  are  placed  first,  alphabetically  by  official  name;  and  the  local  societies 
and  institutions  follow,  entered  by  city  or  state  according  to  the  plan 
described  in  a  note  at  the  head  of  page  97.  If  the  information  required  is  not 
found  immediately,  reference  should  be  made  to  the  index  where  the  names 
of  societies  and  institutions,  serial  publications,  research  funds,  prizes  and 
medals,  expeditions,  cities,  counties  and  states  are  arranged  in  a  single 
alphabet,  together  with  subject  headings  under  which  are  collected  the  refer- 
ences to  all  organizations  or  serial  publications  treating  of  a  particular  region 
of  knowledge  or  special  subject. 

As  the  final  proof  of  the  early  pages  of  this  volume  was  read  over  a  year 
ago,  the  "additions  and  corrections"  (p.  548-562)  form  an  integral  and 
essential  part  of  the  book  and  should  be  consulted  in  connection  with  the  body 
of  the  text,  with  which  they  are  indexed.

Harvard  University. 

Address. — Cambridge,  Mass.  President:  Charles  William  Eliot. 
'  History. — Founded  by  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  Bay  in  1636. 
Two  years  later  it  received  a  bequest  from  John  Harvard,  a  non-con- 
formist clergyman  and  in  his  honor  it  was  named  Harvard  College. 
The  title  of  University  dates  from  the  year  1780,  when  the  Massa- 
chusetts Constitution  of  that  year  referred  to  "the  University  at  Cam- 
bridge." The  property  and  government  of  the  University  is  vested  in 
a  co-optative  board  of  seven  persons,  officially  styled  the  President 
and  Fellows  of  Harvard  College  (but  more  commonly  known  as  The 
Corporation),  established  by  the  charter  granted  in  1650.  Its  acts  are 
alterable  only  by  the  Board  of  Overseers.  The  latter  body  was  estab- 
lished in  1642,  but  its  constitution  has  undergone  several  changes.  It 
consisted  of  representatives  of  the  State  and  ministers  of  the  Con- 
gregational church  up  to  1843  when  it  was  freed  from  the  control  of 
a  particular  denomination ;  the  requirement  that  a  portion  of  the  mem- 
bership should  be  chosen  from  the  clergy  remained,  however,  until 
1 85 1.  It  was  entirely  separated  from  the  State  government  in  1865 
and  since  then  its  members  have  been  elected  by  graduates  of  the  uni- 
versity of  five  years'  standing.

Columbia  University. 
Address. — New  York  City,  N.  Y.  President:  Nicholas  Murray  Butler. 
History. — Chartered  in  1754  and  established  as  King's  College;  name 
changed  to  Columbia  College  by  act  of  May  1,  1784  which  incorporated 
the  Regents  of  the  University  of  the  State  of  New  York  and  placed 
the  college  under  their  direction.  In  Apr.  1787  the  government  of 
the  college  was  transferred  to  a  self-perpetuating  corporation  "The 
Trustees  of  Columbia  College  in  the  City  of  New  York."  The  cor- 
porate title  remains  unchanged,  but  since  Feb.  1896  the  various  depart- 
ments have  been  designated  collectively  as  Columbia  University  of  the 
City  of  New  York.  The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  founded 
in  1807,  became  the  Department  of  Medicine  in  i860  and  was  con- 
solidated with  Columbia  College  in  1891.  The  affiliated  colleges,  which 
retain  their  separate  corporate  existence,  are :  Teachers  College 
(v.  infra)  ;  Barnard  College  (for  women),  chartered  in  1889  and 
formally  admitted  as  a  department  of  the  university  in  1900;  College 
of  Pharmacy.

The  problem  has  been  more  definitely  stated  by  the  Board  of  Man- 
agers thus :  "Whether  or  not  all  rays  in  the  spectrum  known  at  the 
time  the  offer  was  made,  namely  March  23,  1859,  and  comprised  be- 
tween the  lowest  frequency  known  thermal  rays  in  the  infra-red  and 
the  highest  frequency  known  rays  in  the  ultra-violet,  which  in  the 
opinion  of  the  committee  lie  between  the  approximate  frequencies  of 
2xi0iJ4  double  vibrations  per  second  in  the  infra-red  and  8xio14  in 
the  ultra-violet,  travel  through  free  space  with  the  same  velocity." 
The  original  sum  of  $1,000  has  increased  to  about  $3,000.  One  award 
of  $1,000  made  in  1907  for  a  partial  demonstration  of  this  problem, 
viz:  for  the  ultra-violet  rays.

°A  system  of  international  exchanges  was  begun  by  the  Institution  in  1850  for  the 
free  interchange  of  scientific  publications  between  institutions  and  investigators  in  the 
United  States  and  those  in  foreign  lands.  Since  1867  this  has  been  the  official  channel 
for  the  transmission  of  United  States  documents  to  foreign  governments  in  exchange 
for  their  official  publications.  Ref. :  History  of  the  Smithsonian  exchanges,  by  G.  H.

402  HANDBOOK    OF    LEARNED    SOCIETIES 

Submitted  annually  to  Congress  and  published  also  as  Congressional  docu- 
ments. Since  1884  the  report  of  the  U.  S.  National  museum  forms  a 
separate  volume,     (v.  infra). 

1846-53,  reports  only;  1854  to  date,  reports  and  a  general  appendix  giving  a 
record  of  the  progress  in  different  branches  of  knowledge,  compiled 
largely  from  journals  in  foreign  languages  and  the  transactions  of  learned 
societies  throughout  the  world  (each  paper  being  issued  also  as  a  reprint). 

Include  the  following  issued  also  separately  in  advance. 

Report  of  the  Secretary    .    .    .    1847-1907.  Washington,  1848-1907.  8°. 

The  first  six  reports  are  reprinted  in  an  appendix  to  the  8th  annual  report 
of  the  Board  of  regents  (for  1853). 

Also  various  special  publications,  some  of  which  bear  the  series  title 
"Smithsonian  miscellaneous  collections"  or  "Smithsonian  contribu- 
tions to  knowledge,"  but  are  not  included  in  the  completed  volumes  of 
these  series. 

With  the  exception  of  17  early  publications  (1846-53),  Shea's  Library  of  aborigi- 
nal American  linguistics  (9  vols.,  1861-64)  and  2  recent  pamphlets,  which  are 
listed  as  A-Z,  AA,  AB,  each  volume,  part,  reprint  or  special  publication  has  a 
serial  number  assigned  to  it.  Titles  are  given  in  numerical  order  in  List  of 
publications  .  .  .  1846-1903,  by  W.  J.  Rhees  (1903;  in  Sm.  misc.  coll.  v.  44) 
which  contains  also  tables  showing  contents  of  volumes  of  "Contributions," 
"Collections"  and  "Reports." 

Distribution. — The  volumes  of  Contributions  and  Miscellaneous  collections  are 
distributed  only  to  designated  public  libraries  and  to  learned  institutions  and 
societies.  A  small  edition  of  the  separate  papers  in  these  two  series  is  printed 
for  sale  or  exchange.  The  Annual  reports  are  regularly  distributed  by  the 
Institution  to  libraries  throughout  the  world,  and  only  a  limited  number  of  the 
volumes  remains  to  supply  demands  from  other  sources ;  they  are  also  sold  at 
cost  by  the  Superintendent  of  documents,  Government  printing  office,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  and  each  member  of  Congress  has  a  certain  number  of  copies  at 
his  disposal.  The  papers  printed  in  the  Annual  reports  are  published  separately 
for  free  distribution.  Applicants  for  publications  should  state  the  ground  of 
their  requests,  as  the  Institution  is  able  to  supply  papers  only  as  an  aid  to  the 
research  or  study  in  which  the  applicant  is  especially  interested.  No  sets  of 
publications  are  for  sale  or  distribution,  as  most  of  the  volumes  are  out  of  print.

tribution, Apr.  1907.     Washington,  1907.     8°. 

Research  funds,  prizes,  &c. — The  permanent  fund  of  the  Institution 
amounts  to  about  $1,000,000,  mainly  deposited  in  the  Treasury  of  the 
United  States  and  bearing  interest  at  6%  per  annum.  It  is  derived 
from  the  Smithson  endowment,  with  savings  and  interest,  and  subse- 
quent gifts  and  bequests,  notably  those  of  Thomas  G.  Hodgkins  of 
Setauket,  Long  Island,  N.  Y.,  amounting  to  over  $250,000.  Grants 
are  made  by  the  Institution  for  various  explorations  and  investiga- 
tions ;  in  particular,  the  income  from  $100,000  of  the  Hodgkins  fund

is  used  to  promote  the  study  of  "the  nature  and  properties  of  at- 
mospheric air  in  connection  with  the  welfare  of  man"  by  grants  in  aid 
of  researches  and  by  the  award  of  the  Hodgkins  gold  medal  for  im- 
portant contributions  to  knowledge  in  this  field.  Appointments  are 
made  by  the  Institution  to  a  table  which  it  supports  at  Naples  Zoologi- 
cal Station. 

U.  S.  NATIONAL  MUSEUM. 

Address. — Washington,  D.  C.  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Smithsonian  In- 
stitution, in  charge  of  Museum :  Richard  Rathbun. 

History. — By  its  act  of  incorporation  (1846)  the  Smithsonian  Institution 
was  made  the  custodian  and  the  only  lawful  place  of  deposit,  of  all 
objects  of  art  and  of  foreign  and  curious  research  and  all  objects  of 
natural  history,  plants  and  geological  and  mineralogical  specimens  be- 
longing to  the  United  States.  In  1858  the  collections  of  the  Wilkes  Ex- 
ploring Expedition  and  various  government  surveys  were  transferred 
from  the  Patent  Office  to  the  Institution  and  appropriation  was  made 
by  Congress  for  their  care  and  maintenance.  The  name  National  Mu- 
seum first  appears  in  an  act  of  Congress  in  1875,  although  it  had  then 
been  in  popular  use  for  several  years.  In  1876,  at  the  close  of  the 
Centennial  Exposition  at  Philadelphia,  large  collections  from  the  exhibits 
of  foreign  governments  were  secured  for  the  museum  and  Congress 
made  provision  for  the  erection  of  a  separate  building  which  was  opened 
to  the  public  in  1881.  A  new  building,  provided  for  in  1903,  is  now  in 
course  of  erection.

Address. — 12  State  Street  (cor.  Harvard),  Worcester,  Mass. 

History. — Organized  in  1854  as  the  Natural  History  department  of  the 
Young  Men's  Library  Association  (founded  1852  and  incorporated  in 
the  following  year),  receiving  from  the  American  Antiquarian  Society, 
as  the  nucleus  of  a  cabinet,  the  collection  of  specimens  formerly  owned 
by  the  Worcester  Lyceum  of  Natural  History  (active  from  1825  to 
1829).  In  1856  the  Worcester  Lyceum  (established  1829)  was  merged 
with  the  association  to  form  Worcester  Lyceum  and  Library  Associa- 
tion. With  the  transfer  of  its  library  to  the  city  of  Worcester  in  1859  to 
form  part  of  the  Free  Public  Library,  the  study  of  natural  history  be- 
came the  principal  object  of  the  society  and  accordingly  its  name  was 
changed  in  1866  to  Worcester  Lyceum  and  Natural  History  Associa- 
tion, and  again  in  1884  to  the  present  form.

Museo  Nacional  de  Buenos  Aires.

History. — Founded  in  1823  as  Museo  publico  de  Buenos  Aires  in  connec- 
tion with  a  school  for  instruction  in  the  physical  sciences,  from  which 
it  was  separated  in  1826.  Brought  into  intimate  relations  with  the 
University  through  the  foundation  in  1854  of  the  Sociedad  de  Amigos 
de  la  Historia  Natural  del  Plata,  whose  object  was  to  secure  the  growth 
and  development  of  the  museum,  and  whose  president  was  the  Rector 
of  the  University,  ex  officio.  Under  the  administration  of  Dr.  Bur- 
meister  (appointed  director  in  1862)  the  museum  was  transformed 
from  a  simple  cabinet  of  natural  objects  and  curios  into  a  scientific 
institution,  especially  noteworthy  for  its  ornithological,  entomological, 
and  paleontological  collections.    Dr.  Burmeister  was  succeeded,  upon  his 

aAn  earlier  organization  in  this  field,  Instituto  Bonarense  de  Numismatica  y

retirement  in  1892,  by  Dr.  Berg,  formerly  director  of  the  Museo 
nacional  de  Montevideo,  who  undertook  the  reclassification  of  the 
museum  on  modern  lines,  and  the  installation  of  herpetological,  ichthy- 
ological  and  biological  collections.  The  present  director  succeeded  Dr. 
Berg  upon  the  death  of  the  latter  in  1902.  The  museum  is  at  present 
divided  into  5  sections:  (i)  Seccion  zoologica,  (ii)  Seccion  paleon- 
tologica,  (iii)  Seccion  etnologica,  (iv)  Seccion  botanica,  (v)  Seccion 
geologico-mineralogica.  It  maintains  two  exploring  parties  in  the 
field,  one  for  zoology  and  botany,  the  other  for  geology,  mineralogy 
and  paleontology,  by  means  of  funds  supplied  by  the  national  gov- 
ernment. It  has  also  a  large  library.  The  present  name  was  assumed 
when,  after  the  federalization  of  Buenos  Aires  in  1880,  the  museum 
passed  from  the  control  of  the  provincial  government  into  the  hands 
of  the  nation.

income  of  this  fund  a  prize  in  money,  to  be  called  the  Comstock  prize,  is 
to  be  awarded  once  for  every  5  years  to  the  bona  fide  resident  of  North 
America  who,  not  less  than  one  year  nor  more  than  six  years  before  the 
award,  shall  have  made,  in  the  judgment  of  the  trustee,  the  most  important 
discovery  or  investigation  in  electricity  or  magnetism  or  radiant  energy. 
The  amount  of  the  prize  is  to  be  two-thirds  of  the  balance  of  income  for 
5  years,  after  provision  for  maintaining  the  market  value  of  the  fund  has 
been  made,  if  necessary.  If  not  awarded,  this  sum  is  to  be  added  to  the 
principal  or  it  may  be  used,  not  oftener  than  once  in  15  years,  in  whole  or 
part,  to  aid  investigations  in  the  same  field  to  be  made  by  a  bona  fide  resi- 
dent or  residents  of  North  America.     (Ann.  rep.  1907,  p.  13-14.)
